The above photo was taken on November 1, 2007. Dustin & I at a friend's Birthday dinner.
This is Dustin and I on December 21, the day he was getting released from the hospital.
This was Dustin yesterday morning. It is amazing, truly amazing to watch how his color has come back. How his skin has been completely changed but this amazing new liver. We really need to name his new liver-it deserves a name (I have mentioned this before and Big Bird really wants to name it Grapefruit-since that is a big no no to transplant patients)The gratitude of this gift is without the a doubt, the greatest gift anyone could have wanted for Dustin or our family this Christmas! I know I keep saying how grateful we are, you no words truly reflect how we feel, how Dustin especially feels. He is so thankful, but he is so sad by the means in which he got this gift.
I hope you Christmas was as blessed as ours was!

I can't believe the change in his skin color. Although I must say that I love the picture of you both at my birthday dinner! lol
It's amazing how quick his color is coming back. I'm glad you guys had a great Christmas! I can't wait till I'm germ free so I can stop by!
We are happy for your progress and pray it continues.

It's always good to hear of another transplant recipient doing well. I am almost 1 year post transplant and I too feel very blessed.
Happy Holidays!
Congratulations guys! I am happy that the transplant was a success and things are going so well. The color change is amazing....I remember looking in the mirror for the first time after my transplant and seeing that my eyes were white again....such a GREAT feeling!! Congratulations again! Look forward to a new year and a return to your former life...make it better this time though!
It truly is amazing! We need another update! a new one for 2008 :)
